Talk about a blast from the past!!! These two books have been out of print for years. We are excited to say they are available once again! Have you been wanting to learn to carve wax?
These are considered the best wax carving books ever in print by Japanese artists and Master Waxsmiths, Hiroshi Tsuyuki and Yoko Ohba!
#basicwaxmodeling focuses on the creation and design of wax models and the tools used to carve wax; two topics that are often NOT covered as thoroughly as the casting PROCESS itself.
#practicalwaxmodeling explores a more professional approach. It covers adding textures and gemstone mounts made from wax as well as the casting process and the rubber mold making process.
If you have been wanting to start playing with some wax and exploring the casting options of Smithing, I strongly recommend you check these two books out to get you started in the right direction!
Each title is $34.50 and are available for immediate shipping or curbside pick-up!
We are here weekly: T-F 10-4 and Sat. 10-2
Individual appointments are available if you need a little one on one attention or help with something!
Feel free to email or call us with your questions we are eager to help!

Hey you! We've missed you! We're back open with some shorter hours and some changes to HOW we will be able to help you; but we are willing to try this new way of life if you are!?
Here are the basics:
Our hours of operation are as follows:
Tuesday-Friday 10-4 and Sat. 10-2
Here's how we are able to help you:
1.) Curbside pickup!
How does this work you ask?
You may email help@silversupplies.com call 520-882-8750 to place your order. At that time we will take your order, take your personal information and a credit card as a form of payment from you BEFORE you arrive. Keep in mind we may need to call you back with a total so please be patient with this process as we have been practicing for a few weeks now and find this works best for all of us! Please do not call on your way, we are super busy preparing a safe new place for you to shop while this is happening!
2.) Personal Appointment
Need a little one on one time with one of your favorite crew members? Call or email for times available!
How does this work?
A MASK WILL BE REQUIRED
NO CHILDREN PERMITTED
SUBMIT TO A TEMPERATURE CHECK
SANITIZE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER AS NEEDED
If this sounds more your speed we will do our best to meet with you for a predetermined day and appointment time during our regular days of operation.
3.) Video Conference Call
While we are not super proficient at this yet, we are willing to give it a try if you are! Need a tool demo? Have a soldering problem? What's the best way to polish this? Do you have a stone this size, shape or color before I set an appointment to come see it in person? This might be just what we all need; a little visual assistance! Artists are very visual people! Want to have a group chat? Talk to multiple people about multiple needs or a classroom supply pick up, let's all get together on the big screen! (Patience required for this one too some of us have a huge learning curve AND that's ok!)
While we have been a true Tucson, trend setter for 50 plus years the times are changing. We are also changing as a collective of hobbyists and professionals in a craft where we MUST touch and see and try things on and match things and trade things and repair things! We get it! What we ask you to do is remember to be respectful of these uncertain times and each person's comfort level, if you are not able to do that; then we might not be ready to see YOU, yet! As a community it is important that we all do what we can to make this new way of doing business as easy as possible and to do so safely. This means a NO tolerance rule when it comes to not wearing your mask PROPERLY; if you are unable to do that for any reason, you will be asked to leave and will not be invited back in until you are able to help keep us and our families safe. We wear a mask the entire time we are here to protect one another so we will ask you to do the same. We look forward to helping you get your supplies back up to par and helping you with all of your smithing and lapidary needs!
We will be closed July 3,4,5 & 6 for the 4th of July holiday weekend!!
To our loyal customers:
In light of uncertain times and events to come, we feel it is in our best interested as responsible store owners to temporarily close our doors and shelter in place at home with our families and continue to do what is in the best interest of our community and our staff.
We will be available should you need us via email, orders@silversupplies.com and retrieving messages left with any questions or concerns that may surface at 520-882-8750.
We would like to encourage you to stay well and do all that is necessary to insure we see your smiling faces again once the storm has passed.
Temporarily signing off with sincere gratitude and respect.
